Halifax, the capital of Nova Scotia, is known for its historic Atlantic harbour, waterfront boardwalk and lively music scene. With several universities, led by Dalhousie, and a friendly atmosphere, it is a calm student city.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Halifax. Language schools in Halifax and preparation programs at Dalhousie and other universities are among the options.
In Halifax you can book short courses of 1-2 weeks. On an intensive program, one English level usually takes 8-12 weeks. Reaching the IELTS score universities ask for usually needs a 6-12 month plan, depending on your starting level.
The biggest factor in the price is the length of your booking: the weekly fee drops noticeably for bookings of 12 weeks or more. Besides tuition, budget for items such as the registration fee, materials and the student visa and health insurance. NGGlobal students can take advantage of the schools' seasonal offers.
At most language schools courses start every Monday, though complete beginners may have set start dates. Because a Canadian visa application, including the biometrics appointment, can take several months, we recommend applying at least 3-4 months ahead.
For a study permit, the school's letter of acceptance, proof of funds, a study plan letter and documents showing your ties to Turkey are important. Canada's student caps and document requirements have changed in recent years, so check current conditions with IRCC.
